Lisa loves animals and has dogs, rats, cats, guinea pigs, and snakes. She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

We love summers in Georgia. Ice cream, water parks, waterfall hikes, beaches, and more are waiting for you. But with all that fun in the sun comes heat, and lots of it. Many areas of the state regularly see heat indexes in the triple digits. It can be miserable, and even deadly. Fortunately, we have plenty of great opportunities to cool off. One of our favorite ways to beat the heat is to check out one of the many natural swimming holes in Georgia. We have many all over the state, especially in the mountainous northern areas. One of our favorites is Panther Creek. This hidden gem in Clarkesville is a magnificent waterfall-fed swimming hole in Georgia that’s an absolute blast on a hot day.
